It’s leadership.
And it’s your life.
Leadership is about how to be, not what to do.
"Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who
can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a
solution everybody can understand."
--- General Colin Powell
At some time in your life, you’ll be called on to lead. Once that happens, there’s no going back.
So today, it’s time to become the best leader you can be, because leadership isn’t optional.
Phase II - Advanced Course - Eight sessions beginning Wed., Jan. 28, 2015 through Wed., March 18, 2015

***********
RutherfordCABLE has established the Center for Executive Leadership at Middle Tennessee State University. This Phase II Advanced Course of the Leadership Academy begins January 2015. The Center for Executive Leadership is sponsored by the Middle Tennessee State Jennings A. Jones College of Business and the University Honors College and underwritten by Nissan.
****************
What is the Leadership Academy?
-
Executive-level instruction focusing on the tenets of executive leadership. This Phase II Advanced Course has a different format from Phase I: an analytic and application approach to the study of leadership, including articles, cases, editorial and opinion pieces, exercises, video clips and other tools. The Socratic teaching method will be used.
The Socratic teaching method is the oldest and most powerful teaching tactic for fostering critical thinking, providing questions, not answers, and modeling an inquiring, probing mind by continually probing into the subject with questions.
Selected specific materials (particularly articles) for each session will be provided to participants at the prior session with first-session materials provided at RutherfordCABLE’s regular January meeting.
In the event of inclement weather for any planned session, the calendar will roll forward to successive Wednesday nights.

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
